Learn the Risk

Wondering about adding active shooter training to your company’s training activities?

Don’t think it’s necessary?

A common misconception is that “an active shooter event won’t happen to me or my workplace.” Thoughts like these significantly reduce your chances of surviving an active shooter event because they often lead to being unprepared. The real measure of risk is not simply the probability of an event, but a combination of probability, vulnerability, and consequences.

• Although the chances of something happening to you or at your workplace is relatively low, the FBI is warning of an upward trend. 
• How vulnerable are you? If you work in a retail store, school, or house of worship, or anywhere else that is open to the public, you are vulnerable. Active shooters target less secure places with large numbers of people. 
• What are the consequences? The consequences of violent events like these are usually grave. There are lives lost, people are traumatized, companies can close, and an organization's reputation can be on the line -- not to mention the crippling financial liabilities that often follow. If an active shooter event happens at your workplace and you didn’t prepare, you could be held at fault. Don’t take that risk.
